About the author
Daniel E. Hungerford, also known as Daniel Elihu Hungerford, was an American military officer associated with both the Mexican War and the Civil War. He is credited on Condensed History of the Mexican War and Its Glorious Results, a Project Gutenberg-listed work, and later became the subject of the 1891 biography Life of Colonel Daniel E. Hungerford.
Available sources consistently connect him with the 36th New York Infantry and describe him as a colonel whose life drew enough historical interest to be documented in a full-length biography during his lifetime. The records found also place him in the 19th century, with dates commonly given as 1821 to 1896.
Because surviving online information is fairly limited and much of it comes from catalog and archival records, some personal details are less clear than his public record. Still, he stands out as a figure remembered through military history and through the effort to record one of the defining American conflicts of his time.
